The event that caused that invasion was the joint decision by those nations
to refuse to accept the existence of a Jewish sovereign state in their region.
Their mutual decision was taken immediately following the declaration of Israel
as an independent sovereign state, in May of 1948.
Israel's Declaration of Independence (1948) was used as an excuse to invade Israel. Not a cause. A cause is something unavoidable; but here, free-will and pre-existing hatred were involved. See also:
The event in question in 1948 was ISRAEL'S DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. These countries did not want an independent Jewish State to exist.
AnswerNone of those (Lebanon was occupied from 1978-2000). -- In other words, all four regions (Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, Lebanon, and the West Bank) were occupied.Clarification on AnswerYes, I remember when it happened. I remember Israeli armor pushing aside UN personnel to invade and occupy the SOUTHERNpart of Lebanon, but I never heard anything about Israel occupying the entire country of Lebanon. Also, unless I am terribly mistaken, the Gaza Strip was acquired from Egypt in the Six Day War.CommentaryAs noted, Lebanon (as an entirety) was not occupied by Israel whereas the entirety of the Gaza Strip (1967-1993), Golan Heights (1967-Present), and the West Bank (1967-1993) during the specified time periods. (Parts of Gaza were still occupied until 2005 and parts of the West Bank are still occupied presently.) The area of Lebanon occupied was all territory within 20 miles of the Israeli border or the Lebanese-Golan Border.
The countries and paramilitary and terrorist organizations that invade Israel do so because they fail to see how Israel is a legitimate country like every other country.
Several Lebanese militant groups, such as the PLO, began to fire rockets into Northern Israel in 1981 and 1982. Israel finally responded by entering the Lebanese Civil War which was going on concurrently with the aim of removing such militant groups from Lebanon.
Iraq did not invade Turkey. Iraq invaded Kuwait which caused the Gulf War.
No. The United States has invaded enough countries in recent memory. It does not need to launch a war against a regional ally.
Syria lost territory to Israel in the 1967 War (the Golan Heights). It made no successful incursions into Israel from that point onwards. The Syrian Army did invade Lebanon in 1982 and occupied Lebanon until 2006.
Israel invaded Lebanon during this period, responding to provocation from the Palestinian Liberation Organization operating out of southern Lebanon. =============================== Another contributor notes: Once again, as on so many previous and subsequent occasions, the trouble began when Israel fired back.
1982 and 2006
Israel has a strict policy of bringing every soldier home safely (either alive or in a body bag). Hezbollah thought they could antagonize Israel a little by kidnapping two soldiers, Regev and Goldwasser, on the Lebanese border, thinking Israel would not actually fight for them. They were wrong and the Lebanese civilians paid the price for supporting and housing such belligerents.
One is GAZA?

Israel invaded the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip from December 2008 to January 2009.
We don't know, and it will only involve Israel.
When Israel invaded most of plastin and quarter of Syria Israel felt that that wasn't enough so Israel decided to Inavde half of Egypt but it It failed to invade half of Egypt but it succeded to invade Sina. Sina looked like a Huge Island but it was part of Egypt so Sina was invaded by Israel. but the Egyptian returned it back in 1973.
